1/2teaspooncardamom powder (choti elaichi powder)

12-14almonds (badam)(chopped or sliced)

7-8strandssaffron (kesar)(optional)

Instructions

Place a kadhai on a low flame. Roast the chopped dry fruits for 5 to 7 minutes or until they become light brown. Remove them aside.

In a wide bottomed pan, boil the milk. Then, reduce the flame of the gas and continue boiling it further until the milk is reduced to half of its quantity or it gets thickened in consistency. While boiling the milk, you can place a ladle in the pan to prevent the milk from spilling out.

Add 5 to 6 tablespoons of sugar in the milk and cook further for 2 minutes until all the sugar gets dissolved.

Add the crumbled or grated paneer in the milk. Stir the milk and simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes till the paneer gets cooked.

Add the cardamom powder and roasted almonds and pistachios. Stir it for minute.

You can serve this kheer hot, warm, or cold. While serving, garnish it with some slivers of almonds and pistachios and a few saffron strands.

Recipe Notes

1) Use only fresh milk for this recipe. 2) Crumble the paneer if you are using fresh home-made paneer. If using store bought paneer or frozen paneer, grate it and then use it. If the paneer is dry or frozen, soak it in warm water for some time until it becomes soft. 3) You can also add cashews in this recipe. Since I did not have cashews in hand while making the recipe, I added only almonds and pistachios. You can skip saffron if you don’t have it while preparing the recipe.

Step by Step Recipe With Photos

1) Roast the chopped almonds and pistachios in a kadhai for 5 to 7 minutes and keep them aside. In a wide-bottomed pan, boil the milk. After the milk is boiled, reduce the flame and continue boiling it until it gets reduced to half of its quantity or its consistency gets thickened. In this process, the colour of the milk will change from white to very light brown.

2) Add sugar and keep stirring the mixture until all the sugar gets dissolved.

3) Add the grated or crumbled paneer. If you are using fresh paneer made at home, you can just crumble and add it. I had bought a paneer block from store, so I grated it and added. If the paneer is very dry, soak it in warm water and then crumble or grate. On a medium flame, simmer the milk for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the paneer to get cooked.

4) Then, add the cardamom powder and roasted almonds and pistachios. Stir it well in the milk and switch off the flame after 2 minutes.

5) The paneer kheer can be served hot, warm, or cold. While serving, garnish it with some slivers of almonds and pistachios and a few strands of saffron.

A chocolate truffle is a sweet, decadent treat that can be easily made with 2 ingredients. A chocolate truffle is basically a chocolate ganache centre coated with cocoa powder, nuts (toasted almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, or pistachios), chocolate shavings, sprinkles, dessicated coconut, or melted chocolate. In the traditional recipe, a truffle is coated with cocoa powder.

The actual taste of the chocolate truffle depends on the type of chocolate used to make this truffle. In this recipe, I used semisweet chocolate with 50% cocoa content, as my family prefers a sweeter version. If you prefer the bitter taste, you can use dark chocolate (more than 70% cocoa content) for making the truffles. A mixture of dark and milk chocolate can also be used.

Different flavourings can be added to the ganache mixture while preparing the truffles, such as vanilla essence, coffee, liquors, spices, or dried fruits. Because I wanted to make the traditional easy chocolate truffle recipe, I did not use any flavouring, but I used different coatings for the truffles.

Just bit into a freshly made chocolate truffle. Tastes heavenly!

I made this chocolate truffle recipe with just 2 ingredients: condensed milk and chocolate. I cooked condensed milk and chocolate on a low flame until they formed a smooth mixture.

Then, I made small balls of this mixture and coated them with cocoa powder, toasted almonds, and sprinkles. These chocolate truffles taste heavenly and just melt in your mouth. This recipe is extremely easy, and I see no reason why you should not make it.

200gramCondensed milk

For coating

5 to 6tablespoonsCocoa powder

10 to 15Finely chopped almonds

5 to 6tablespoonsColourful sprinkles

Instructions

Place a pan on a low flame.

Add condensed milk and chopped chocolate. With the help of a spatula, stir the mixture continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Cook until the mixture combines well and you can pick it up on the spatula without it sticking to the pan. Then, switch off the flame.

Transfer this mixture to a bowl. After 5 minutes, cover the bowl with a plastic film (cling film). Then, keep this bowl in the refrigerator for 1 and ½ hours.

After 1 and ½ hours, check if the mixture has solidified. It should not be very hard. You should be able to remove it out with a scooper or spoon.

Apply some cocoa powder on your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands while making the balls.

With the help of a scooper or spoon, scoop the mixture and make bite-sized balls.

Then, immediately roll the balls in cocoa powder, toasted nuts, or sprinkles so that the coating sticks to the ball. If the mixture starts to melt, refrigerate the coated chocolate truffles in the fridge for some time.

Chocolate truffles are ready to serve!

Recipe Notes

1) Keep continuously stirring the mixture while cooking. This prevents the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. 2) If the mixture has hardened too much after removing from the fridge, keep it out for some time till it softens a bit and then make the balls. 3) Dust some cocoa powder on the hands while shaping the balls. This prevents the mixture from sticking to the hands.

Step by Step Easy Chocolate Truffles Recipe:
